I don't like bell pepper, so i swapped it for potatoes..our family not a fan of curry so it got wrapped for tomato paste..and the brown sugar got left out but everything else was the same..we added an extra cup of rice and this definitely could have been split in 6 instead of 4 we logged out..
0 HelpfulI need to use the full fat coconut milk, less chicken broth, and more curry paste. It was a bit too watery and not spicy enough. But I still enjoyed it!
0 HelpfulVery good flavor and it made a LOT. I doubled the rice for a future recipe but ended up eating it all in leftovers for this recipe. I added more than the recommended amount of curry paste but wanted it spicier. Maybe add some crushed chili peppers, cayenne or jalapeno next time.
0 HelpfulI went back in the archives and looked at weeks before I joined, which is how I found this one. This was amazing! Note to self: Use more curry paste next time and cook on low so the broth doesn't separate.
0 HelpfulThis was amazing!! I think red curry is my new favourite. I loved the complex flavours that the lime, fish sauce and chicken broth added. The best curry I've ever made and I'll make this again and again! Doubled the recipe to bring some to a friend who has a new baby, and it doubled really nicely.
